Old Friends and New.

An old friend IS worth fifty new &C.
quaintance. People who really care
for you, even ever so little, are very
rare. And Mrs -, who is $50 charm
cd" to see you, is equally charmed to
see the rest of her dear five hundred
friends" You die, and she forgets it
wasn't Mrs. A. Mrs. A dies, and she
thinks it was you, and sends invitations
to the wrong people. and has to apollo
gize. Society is her object, and lot of
people together. all in good clothes and
with decent characters, make society.
Don't fiatter yourself that any thing
special is meant by her smiles and
honeyed words.
1t is better to smile than to frown, to
be polite than to be rude; but old Aunt
Jane, who knows just how you took
the measles, and can remember how
Jack came accounting, and knows your
children by name and remembers all
their birthdays, is sure to care for you
little, and you are in the wrong to
under-value her because she .has no
style"
Ifmsfortune falls upon you and you
need kindness, Mrs. A will doubtless
send her card; but Aunt Jane will come
to you and help you. If you rejoice.
Mrs. A will congratulate you on the
latest style of note paper, with her
monogram from an original design,
but Aunt Jane will really be happy in
her honest old heart. Don't neglect
her for one to whom you are really not
so much as the bit of brio a-brac on
her parlor mantel-piece.

Calm and unfrightened statisticans submit
to us the whole number of ships that sail, and
then the whole number of ship, that are lost,
and, establishing proportion, make It as
clear as day to the most obtuse intelligence
that it is not hundredth part as dangerous
to go to sea as it is to 60 to bed. And yet
somehow people continue to so to sea fear
fully, as though extraordinary hazard were
attending the operation.

The world "marries and is given in

frequetly from her sdd stories of these
always funny people. Her stout color

errand bearers and personal servants to

decorates his countenance with it on all
possible occasions, but cannot possibly
eat his food without it.
One day lately Ivy was served with

Quite romantic marriage in Fort Gaines,
Ca, recently. The happy contracting parties
were a Miss Stuckey, from near Blakelv, Ca,
and a Mr.. Ford, from Alabama. They had
previously been to Abbeville in quest of some
party who would hitch them on, but owing
to the youthful appearance Of the prospective
bride the legal force there refused to accom-
modate them. They then returned to Fort
Gaines, and awakened the gentlemanly ordi-
nary from his peaceful repose in the dead OF
night, who kindly tied them together, after
the fair maiden had assured him that she was
past the sweet .tteen notch. In Guiding the
watchful paternal eye they Travelled the enor-
nous distance Of 800 miles, forded a river
over 100 yards, took rain, wind and mud an
entire day and night, and many other hard
ships too numerous to mention.

"iiring" of the editors wife and moth

names erased from the roll Of member

The following letter from the Auditor

great interest to farmers and others. It
will be seen that this company is the only
one in Iowa legally authorized to write
this kind of insurance:

AUDITOR OF STATES OFFICE,
Des Moines, April 9, 1887.
Mr.. JNo. E. WILLIAMS. Sec. North
western Live Stock Insurance Co-Sir:
In answer to your inquiry, have to say
that the Northwestern Live Stock Insur-
ance Co., of Des Moines, is at the date
hereof the only organization of any de-
scription authorized by law and this Of
flee to insure live stock against loss by
disease and accident in the State of
Iowa. Any other company, association
or society offering to write such insur-
ance in this State is, therefore, acting in
violation of law and subject to prosecu-
ton and punishment accordingly. Imay
also add that persons taking out so.called
insurance in such unlawfully conducted
institutions, are necessarily without the
protection of the insurance laws Of our
State. Very Truly Yours.
